Club career

Early career

Stendardo began his career at Napoli in 1997 and has played for a number of top Italian football clubs, including Sampdoria, Lazio, and Juventus, as well as early spells with Salernitana and Perugia; during his time with the latter club, he was sent on loan to Catania for the 2003–04 season. [2]

Journeyman: Lazio, Juventus return and Lecce

Stendardo was signed by S.S. Lazio in August 2005 on a free transfer. His previous club A.C. Perugia, went bankrupt at the start of the 2005–06 season. After a 3–2 defeat to Juventus in late 2007, Stendardo had a falling-out with Lazio manager Delio Rossi and demanded a transfer during the January 2008 transfer window. [2]

In January 2008, Juventus officially announced the signing of Stendardo [3] to a 6-month loan deal, for €400,000, [4] with an option to buy him outright in the summer. On 1 September he was loaned to Lecce in a one-year deal, [5] and spent the 2008–09 season with the Giallorossi with little success, as the side went relegated to Serie B.

Stendardo then returned to Lazio at the end of the season, [2] and played 33 Serie A games for the club during the next 2 seasons.

Atalanta

After making no appearances in 2011–12, he left for Atalanta in January 2012, on loan until June. [6] [7] In August, he was bought outright by La Dea. [8] [9]

Coaching career

In August 2021, Stendardo took over on his first role as a first team manager, coaching Eccellenza amateurs LUISS, the football branch of the Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli. [10]

Style of play

Despite his lack of pace or notable technical skills, Stendardo has made a name for himself as a large, tall, physically strong and tenacious central defender. [2] [11]

Personal life

Stendardo's brother, Mariano, is also a footballer. During his playing career, Guglielmo managed to obtain a law degree; [11] in December 2012, he was the source of controversy when he pulled out of a Coppa Italia match against Roma in order to sit an exam in Salerno for his law degree, and was subsequently fined by Atalanta.
